The idea is all wrong that in chess there is a need for "ultra-precise" moves
"to be able to have (at least) a 50:50 chance against computers". It's a fairy
tale that machines could play a superior chess. The chess they do play is in
fact a horrible emulation of a far similarity of human chess. The point is that
with all the tricks of the operating team a machine would still be like putty in
the hands of a chess master. That is BTW the main reason for the events around
the 1997 match between DBII and Kasparov. The team around DBII failed to prove
their machine's authenticity. And Kasparov was good advised to stop the ballyhoo
and continuing himself in an as if mode - as if he played sound chess. This way
he still sacked 600 000 US$$ from the American company. IBM then left the field
for good. Kasparov played chess untill 2005.
